Spaghettification: A Metaphor for Existence and Inevitability
As Jana Levin and Neil deGrasse Tyson discuss in their exploration of black holes, spaghettification occurs when an object crosses the event horizon of a black hole, destined to reach the singularity. Once the event horizon is crossed, the outcome is inevitable—it’s just a matter of time. This scientific concept resonates far beyond astrophysics, offering…
